Daily Wildfire Update

About this report:
This wildfire update is provided by the Colorado Division of Homeland Security
and Emergency Management in partnership with the Colorado Division of Fire
Prevention and Control to keep you informed of current wildfires for which the
State is currently supporting and monitoring. The update does not cover all
wildfires currently burning in Colorado that may be smaller incidents.

This update contains
information on the fires the State EOC is monitoring and supporting in
Colorado:

·East Peak Fire

·Wild Rose Fire

·Bull Gulch Fire

·Lime Gulch Fire

·Big Meadows Fire

·West Fork Complex Fire

·Papoose Fire

There have been many smaller fires start in the state (less than 100 acres and
without damage to structures or harm to people). These fires have been
largely put out in the first operational periods and have not exceeded 100
acres. I am not including these fires in the daily report.

Important Note:
Information on current and future Colorado wildfires can be obtained from the
following websites, which are updated regularly during incidents:

The fire situation
rating for the Rocky Mountain Area has increased to Preparedness Level 4.
The Nation remains at a Preparedness Level 2. This rating indicates
highly complex large fire activity is occurring, with multiple large fires in
the zone. Fire severity is extreme as reported in multiple areas, and fires are
escaping initial attack, as evident by the number of large fires. Multiple
regional dispatch centers are experiencing an incident requiring type-1 or
type-2 teams, and a majority of zone resources are committed.
